Steely Dan-Rikki Don`t Lose That Number lyrics

We hear you`re leaving, that`s OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun,
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart.

Rikki don`t lose that number;
You don`t wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don`t lose that number;
It`s the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.


I have a friend in town, he`s heard your name.
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games I don`t know
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don`t lose that number;
You don`t wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don`t lose that number;
It`s the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

(Lead break)

You tell yourself you`re not my kind
But you don`t even know your mind.
And you could have a change of heart.

Rikki don`t lose that number;
You don`t wanna call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to yourself.
Rikki don`t lose that number;
It`s the only one you own.
You might use it if you feel better,
When you get home.

Rikki don`t lose that number
(Rikki don`t lose that number)
Rikki don`t lose that number
